I can't stop watching your videos!
ok love it. I will figure out how to get volume later, but this is great thanks.
Golden advice as always!
Thank you for posting more content to RUclips in this time of need
Thanks AL!!! Loving that you are making videos again.
Great to see you again so often Al! Enjoy the time with the family!
Great tips, thanks!
thx for the video!!!
always some great inspiration!
Thanks ever so much for sharing this Al! Funnily enough this is perfect timing for me to be watching this video,as I've started to practice towards the back bridge again. 😁👍!!
Amazing video Al! Thanks heaps! Waiting for the handstand tips!
Great video al hopefully people see how great bridging is. Will add these steps into my training thanks
Very valuable information! Thank you!
Great stuff Al mate. I am working on this as have a pretty locked up scapular - I especially like the rolling on the swiss ball spine mobility tip! Thank you as always!!
Good to hear from you pal!
Thanks great advice 🎉
Hey Al! Good to have you back on. Can you please talk about elbow pain during pulling movements, thx.
Great progressions 🙂😎🔥 Bro.. the dumbbell pullover is also a great exercise for the bridge
Excellent accompaniment to your 'pushing the limits' book!
Just found this excellent comment! I can get my head off the ground now so your tutorial is working!
Very nice work bro😎
Every time I do the back bridge I get sore in my upper back. This is such a good exercise to target all those weak little muscles that otherwise never get worked with things like pull ups.
Anyone disliking this man, can kiss my ass. He’s dope and helpful. That’s bro
Hey hey hey Al! I'm glad you're OK. Bridge is one of my favourite, and I enjoy practicing it every morning. Now I am training towards V-sit, but I tend to lean backward trying to lift my legs as high as possible. Do you have any tips on how to overcome this? Specifically, what palms position (fingers front or back) do you prefer?
I've notice when I do full bridges, the first two reps are always terrible until my body loosens up. By rep 4 or 5 I'm good.
Yeah that's pretty common. It usually takes me a couple sets to ease into it as well.
Hey Al, thanks for quality content again! What’s your opinion on the argument, that bodyweight (for example bridging) is not enough for lower back and you need some weighted exercises like Deadlift or RDL? I’m really a fan of bodyweight training, but the only weighted exercise I do is Barbell RDL for the reason I’ve mentioned. Or is there any bodyweight equivalent? Was thinking of Glute Ham Raises/Nordic Curls, but I guess it’s not the same for the lower back as RDL...? What do others think? Thx!!
I wish I could do this exercise.
My kyphosis and poor shoulder mobility does not allow it and there is nothing I can do.
Luckily I can still do pullups...
That thoracic flexibility tho!
you are pretty cool
Al, loved this video and great advice! I have a problem that you could hopefully help me with. When I do a full bridge, my right knee fills with a lot of pressure, like it's about to pop, but it never does; this causes me a lot of discomfort and I'm unable to get a quality bridge set. Any advice?
Can you feel the contraction in your hamstrings? If not, try some reverse planks.
General advice for "this hurts what do" is to seek modifications that reduce the difficulty or just change the angles in a way that reduces the pain, then gradually build up the volume and intensity. Don't do too much, and don't take much time completely off.
@@GeorgeLocke Exactly!
Hey Al make a video interview with Grace and Danny
Hi Al, do you think i can learn difficult skills like human flag, back lever, etc with doing only pull ups?
Is there a progression between the full bridge and wall walking? I can do a lot of reps of the bridge. In CC, Paul Wade suggests walking backwards down a wall but I can't even manage a single rep! Would bridging with a weighted vest work?
Can you do a stand-to-stand bridge?
It's been known to happen on a good day, but it's definitely on the fringes of my skill set. If you search around enough you might be able to find a video of me doing one. :)
